House of Wah Sun

Wanted to come here since they opened and finally had the opportunity. Since chicken and broccoli is so hit or miss here in Chicago, I opted for the “safer” general tso’s chicken, which lacked spice and was actually really sweet. The sauce was just drizzled over the chicken, leaving much of it dry and hard, not at all the meal I had hoped for. The primary reason I wanted to try out this restaurant was for the egg rolls, but that too was filled with this disappointing paste, instead of the usual egg roll filling I was looking forward to. Glad I finally got to try it, now I can cross this place off my list.

First off I used to love this place when it was located on Lincoln! We went here on Irving Park and we were so disappointed. The food was tasteless! The rice was just dark and no flavor! The Szechuan tofu again was tasteless! The tofu they use is way too soft. The sauce had no flavor and it wasn’t even all that spicy. One thing I will say is the vegetables were fresh. The crab Rangoon was overly fried. We felt so uncomfortable because the waitress kept coming to our table every 3 minutes refilling our water. We felt very rushed. They were closing at 2:30 and we got there at 1:50 we had plenty of time to eat in peace, but that definitely didn’t happen. The We will not be going back.

Service was great. The food was tasty and seasoned so good, we.didn’t need to add nothing. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, he made suggestions after asking what we liked. I see why the Mongolian beef is popular and the combination rice is a menu highlight. General Tso chicken and veggie egg roll were decent. Overall our dinner experience was enjoyable.

Welcoming atmosphere but sloppy service for me. I saw customers being welcomed with ice cold water. My food spilled in the bag and had no sauce . The veggie combo was not filling due to low protein content..For the tip I left I expected napkins because I did not eat at home!

First time and we were pleased. The moo shu chicken was very good. Great balance of crunchy with chicken. Good portion sizes.
